O'GRADY,
M.James "
Jim"
Born: July 25, 1936, Timmins, Ontario
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden death
of the beloved husband of Helen Alexiade
O'GRADY and cherished
father of James (Jamey)
O'GRADY.
His devotion to our small family
was surpassed only by his generous spirit which will always be
with us. Jim was loved and respected as a brother by Colleen
(Lawrence DUMVILLE), Faye (Don
KUIAK) and Ken (Marlene
BINNIE).
He was pre-deceased by his parents Mary
REDMOND and Harold and
by his brother Terry. He was loved as a brother-in-law by Maria
and Tasso KARKAZIS,
Ariadne and Howard
GRIBBLE and Anne
NOTOF
and as an uncle to many from Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia
and California. Born in Timmins, Ontario in 1936, Jim grew up
in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. He was both a star athlete and an outstanding
student in his youth, winning the All-Ontario Midget AAA
Championship with the Noranda Toilers in 1951-52. He enjoyed
full scholarships to Queen's University, Arts '57 and Law '61 and
was awarded a Viscount Bennett Scholarship to The Harvard Law
School (LL.M. '63). Before starting his legal practice, Jim was
the Special Assistant to the Solicitor General of Canada, the
Honourable Larry Pennel. For 46 years he practiced law in Ottawa
with Solway, Wright, Houston, Greenberg, O'Grady and Morin and
O'Grady and Associate. At the time of his death he was practicing
with the firm of Burke-Robertson. In 1998 he was elected a Fellow
of The American College of Trial Lawyers. His career as a lawyer
was characterized by the highest standards of professionalism,
respect for those in need and unwavering dedication to his chosen
profession. His service to the community included the office
of President of the Consumer's Association of Canada and a member
of the Executive Committee of the International Organization
of Consumer's Unions. He was a member of the International Ice
Hockey Federation Board of Arbitration. Jim's love of hockey
was legendary including over 15 years as a coach in the Nepean
Minor Hockey Association and a lifetime of preparation for the
National Hockey League. Friends are invited to visit at the Central
Chapel of Hulse, Playfair and McGarry, 315 McLeod Street, Ottawa
on Thursday, May 22, 2008, from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral

COWARD,
AlfredReginald
Mississauga, Ontario - Alfred Reginald
COWARD, died peacefully
on June 10, 2008, at the Credit Valley Hospital after a brief
illness. Alf was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia to Arthur and Lillian
COWARD.
Being exposed to music and piano at an early age ignited
a fire within and ultimately, music became his life's passion.
Alf was initially drawn to medicine and attended St. Francis
Xavier, Dalhousie Universities, and The University to Toronto
to pursue pre-med training. Ultimately his heart drew him back
to music, where he worked on perfecting jazz piano playing and
composing for the balance of his life. By 1950 Alf had played
as a member of a many jazz orchestras, and shortly thereafter
struck out on his own leading the Alf Coward Band. In 1955 Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation aired the first variety show in the
Maritimes on Television; 'The Alf Coward Show', featuring the
Alf Coward Band. Meanwhile, during this time, what began as a
two week 'gig' at Georges Spaghetti House eventually extended
to 7 years due to a growing fan base. Alf lived (Mississauga)
and worked in the Toronto area for the rest of his life. In the
late 1960's he married and had two boys. He spent the 1970's
onward teaching classical and jazz piano as well as voice from
his Mississauga studio. He continued to perform locally in television
commercials, and movies. Surviving are his sons, Brent and Shem
COWARD as well as his granddaughter Peyton. The memorial services
will be held at 2: 00 p.m. Friday, June 13 at Bloor Street United
Church with the Reverend Martha
TERKUILE officiating. Memorials
may be made on behalf of Alfred
COWARD to The Canadian Cancer
